similar, without inner line; the whitish scaling of inner margin less extensive; underside of fore wing dull red 
with the lines dark; of hindwing ochreous with the cellspot black and lines red, the termen paler in both wings; 
head, thorax, and two basal segments of dorsum deep brown red, the third ochreous, the next three bright 
red and ochreous mixed, the anal segment deep redbrown; the <$ is without white scaling; possibly the single $ 
is exceptional in this respect. 1 1 $ from Pengalengan, Preanger, Java. Type in Tring Museum. 
0. rufata spec. nov. (24 h). Porewing dull rufous, the costal and terminal areas usually grey tinged; 
the lines and markings the same as in particolor <$, without any whitish scaling, except in the teeth of the outer 
line; dorsum, as in that species, with the anal half, except the terminal segment, ochreous marked with brown; 
the only $ is paler than the $$, without the grey costal and terminal areas; an aberration — analiplaga ah. 
nov. (24 h) has a cloudy blackish blotch at the anal angle of both wings. 1 4 from Gunong Ijau, Malay 
peninsula; the aberration, a $, is labelled Perak, January 1897, 3— 4000 feet, taken by Mr. Curtis. 
0. dorsinotaia spec. nov. (24 h). Forewing dull lilac grey, the shadings purplish brown; costal 
edge reddish; basal and terminal areas purplish brown; the median area paler, containing a long black cellspot; 
inner and outer lines double, brown filled in with pale; subterminal line pale, dentate lunulate, projecting at 
vein 4; dark terminal dots; hindwing similar witli a slighter cellspot; the line median; underside of fore wing 
reddish grey, of hindwing ochreous; head, thorax, and dorsum dark purplish brown; the tegulae shining, paler; 
second segment of dorsum with a quadrate snow white spot. 1 <$ from Haidana, Collingwood Bay, British 
New Guinea, April 1907 (A. S. Meek). 
0. atriapicata Hmps. (23 f). Forewing ochreous whitish suffused with pale rufous; small black sub- 
basal, inner, and median spots on costa; an oval blackish cell spot with a white point on it at lower angle 
of cell; outer line whitish, oblique, from costa to inner margin; subterminal line whitish with oblique black 
bar beyond it from apex and fuscous points on its outer edge, sinuous above middle, dentate below; underside 
similar. Sandakan, Borneo; described from a single <$. 
0. cariosa Lucas (= leptogramma Meyr.) (23 f). Forewing white; the costa yellowish towards base; 
inner line pale fulvous yellow, curved from cell to inner margin; above middle marked only by a black 
costal spot; cellspot double, black; outer line yellow with a black costal spot, excurvecl above, incurved be¬ 
low vein 4; subterminal line white, with a pale fulvous yellow band on its inner side and the area beyond 
it pale fulvous yellow except at apex; fringe fulvous yellow; hindwing white; a slight yellow inner line; 
cellspot black; the other lines as in forewing. New Guinea; Queensland; Samoa. Apparently a common 
insect; both types were from Queensland. 
48. Genus: Oxyts’ila gen. nov. 
Differs from Oruza by the more developed palpi; these, instead of being short and upturned with stumpy 
third segment, have the second segment long, obliquely porrect upwards and narrowing to the third seg¬ 
ment, which is long, narrow, and acuminate, reaching far above vertex; in the forewing vein 7 rises before 
the end of the areole, vein 8 anastomosing with 9, 10 to form it. Type O. bipars Hmps. 
0. bip ars Hmps. (23 f). Forewing velvety black brown to outer line, greyish fuscous beyond; the 
costal area broadly dull reddish ochreous to subterminal line, extending to inner margin near base, and to 
wards costa irrorated with fuscous; inner line marked only by an ochreous striga from costa; outer line och¬ 
reous, oblique from costa to vein 6, then incurved; subterminal line marked by two small triangular 
black spots on the outer edge of the ochreous area, an ochreous dot with small black spot beyond it and streak 
before it below the ochreous area, and then by slight ochreous dots incurved below vein 4; a row of black 
and white dots just before termen; hindwing greyish fuscous, blacker at base; a diffuse grey median band 
with the waved black outer line on it; a subterminal series of ochreous dots, those at veins 5 and 4 outwardly 
defined by black. The Khasia Hills, Assam; Kanara and Karwar, Bombay. 
49. Genus: Dysgnatliia gen. nov. 
Like Oxytrita this genus differs from Oruza by the much more developed palpi; the second segment,
